Conservative favorite John Bolton endorsed Wendy Long today in the battle to face New York’s Senator Kirsten Gillibrand.

Today, I am proud to endorse Wendy Long for United States Senate. In an era when many candidates are lacking in the credentials needed for higher office, Wendy Long is superbly qualified to represent New York in the U.S. Senate. Wendy has served on the staff of two Senators and has also clerked for a Justice of the Supreme Court. She understands the workings of both the judicial and legislative branches of our government and has put that knowledge to work for the executive branch in her effort to ensure the Senate confirmation of Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Sam Alito to the Supreme Court.

Former mayor Rudy Giuliani endorsed Bob Turner last week, and as of the most recent polling, the race between Turner and Long remains close. Unfortunately for both candidates, Senator Gillibrand holds a lead of over 30 points against them in potential matchups.
